GREENFIELD -- Say the words "health insurance" and "medical bills" and many people's eyes glaze over. FOX6's Contact 6 says before you JUST pay the bill - see how one couple got smart!

When you don't feel well, especially if your illness results in a trip to the hospital, often the last thing you are considering is how much that hospital or doctor visit will cost. You just want to feel better!

That's how Guido Francolucci felt last August, when he went in to the hospital for kidney stones. Francolucci left the hospital feeling better, until the bill came!

"We looked at the bill and there were a couple of double charges, so they re-did the bill, and we received a bill for $420.23," Francolucci said.
